It turns out I had social anxiety, which is one of the most common mental health issues in America that leads to substance abuse, social isolation, and suicide.
Society says the kid or person sitting alone at the library or cafeteria is doing so, because he or she is an introvert, and they like their solitude.
That could be the case, and there’s nothing wrong with being an introvert…

When it comes to seeing a doctor, therapist, or maybe even calling the suicide hotline, those with social anxiety are plagued the most and usually can’t ask for help.
